Many species of animals can be classified as predators, but
only a limited number of animals account for losses to livestock and game
animals. The management practices of the Wildlife
Program of the Hualapai Department of Natural Resources primarily
focus on two that inhabit Hualapai Lands; Coyote and Mountain Lion.

Predation by mountain lions and coyotes is an ongoing battle. Currently, the
Tribe has a bounty on both of these animals.

In 2010, a total of 34 Coyotes and 4 Mountain Lion were
turned in for a bounty.

Tribal Bounty Program2011 Hualapai Reservation Tribal Bounty Prices:

Coyotes are worth $65.00 and Mountain Lions are worth $450.00

Only tribal members are eligible to collect a bounty.

Please keep safety in mind;

To reduce possible exposure to rabies, when handling a coyote, wear rubber
gloves and a mask. Have a trash bag handy too. You can turn the trash bag inside
out, take the bottom part of the bag with one hand and grab the coyote, and then
work the entire trash bag over the coyote carcass into the bag without touching
it.

If the coyote or mountain lion is behaving strangely, (is walking toward you,
acting tame, acting mad, is hostile, foaming at the mouth, etc.), it may have rabies.

If you shoot this coyote, DO NOT BRING IT IN TO THE
COMMUNITY.

Contact the Natural Resources Departmentor
Animal Control with the location
of the animal, so that we can remove it.
